About the Practice

Practice Philosophy

Enhancing your face or figure not only changes the way you look - it changes how you feel about yourself. Combining art and science, plastic surgery is a dynamic, rapidly evolving medical discipline. Operative results depend upon your plastic surgeon's technical skill, judgment, and knowledge of human anatomy. Comprehensive training in all aspects of plastic surgery enables our plastic surgeons in the Grand Rapids area to implement the latest medical knowledge and techniques.
Personalized, high-quality surgical outcomes and attentive, caring treatment have made Great Lakes Plastic & Hand Surgery a trusted resource.
